COLIEE 2020
This year, JURISIN will co-located with the Seventh Competition on Legal Information Extraction/Entailment (COLIEE-2020). The motivation for the competition is to help create a research community of practice for the capture and use of legal information. Please visit the homepage of COLIEE2020 (https://sites.ualberta.ca/~rabelo/COLIEE2020/) to see the detail of the competition.

Invited Speakers
